Hosted by the Benevolent Society, this year sees the Race for Change hit its fifth edition. Held around the pan flat Sydney International Regatta Centre, the 2017 event is set to be the fastest yet. New and returning riders are set to join forces and test themselves against the clock. Designed as a teams event, the Race for Change sees groups of up to five riders (minimum of three) compete in a relay format. The 4.99km course is a safe and controlled environment – so you can go flat-out.

The aim? Race around the flowing circuit and reach a combined total of 200km. The catch? Teams have just five hours to complete the distance. How your team reaches the 200km target is up to you. There are many ways to achieve the total distance. When not racing riders can relax in their team’s allocated space. Refreshments and massages therapists are on hand throughout the day.

Along with charging towards the target distance, each team is responsible for reaching their combined fundraising target. Funds from the Sydney event will go directly to help local disadvantaged Australian children and families.

Fundraising by Sydney participants will be allocated to local programs including The Shack in Maroubra and Claymore Kids Action Network (CKAN Do) in Claymore.
